One of the LORD’s commandments is only four words and appears in Exodus 20:13 - “Thou shalt not kill.”
God knew Jeremiah before He even created Him, and sanctified him before he was even born! Jeremiah 1:5 - “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”
Solomon is considered one of the wisest men to ever live. He was inspired by God to write the Book of Proverbs. Chapter 6 says the LORD hates hands that shed innocent blood. Proverbs 6:16-19 – “These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.”
We are thinking outside the box today with a rap song instead of a hymn :)
Yes, rap! The lyrics are very touching. Be sure to watch the video for the full true story re-enactment.
I'm a child of the king, ain't no need to go fear me.
And I see the flowing tears, so I know that you hear me.
When I move in your womb that's me being scared,
Cuz who knows what my future holds?
Your friends look at you funny but look at you mommy!
That's a life inside, take a look at your tummy!
I'll always be a part of you!
Trust your soul, know it's always true.
If I could talk I'd say to you …
Can I live?God makes it clear that life is precious … thou shalt not kill. Four words. No ifs, ands or buts.
